Just picked up my new G


******CURRENT PROGRESS PICTURES ON PAGE 7******

What's Up Peeps,
This is my first post on the G forum, and I'm hoping I made this post in the right spot..
I came from the clubrsx forum, and just got rid of my 03 Rsx-S.
Anyways...this past weekend i picked up my new (used) 2005 G35 w/ 52k miles.
I had been seeing the car online for a about a week and it just kept catching my eye.
Lucky me, one of my customers at work is a marketing director for the chain of dealerships and was able to get me the car at a good price, and good trade in allowance.
I'm 23 and this is my first car purchased on my own so I'm pretty stoked. Figured I would introduce myself, get peoples opinions on the new purchase, and some mod ideas that make the car look even better. Since the day i got it 9/21/12, i have removed the grille and had it sprayed gloss black, and i debadged the car.
My future plans are lowering it on drop springs. (anyone know what goes the lowest?)
Getting a front lip, adding some aggresive wheels, and possibly new headlights...

Below is a picture of my old whip & below it are some pictures of my new G.

Welcome to DRIVER Larz! IP (Ivory Pearl) coupes are SO easy to make look good with just a few sense able mods. SEARCH IP coupes, you'll see what I mean! Clear sides are a great place to begin, OE orange sides looks worse than a zit. One of my favorite IP coupes (Lucy) belongs to Big C again SEARCH. Good Luck, enjoy the ride....Gary

Welcome Larz! Switching out the headlights for 06 projectors are a great mod to start with.

It'll do the same on your G, but even worse since its RWD. If you lower it make sure to get a rear camber kit as well

Welcome.. Nice find on the IP coupe. Is it a Auto or Manual? I still remember the first day I picked up my IP G...I only had 2 hours of sleep and I still drove 2 hours out the city to pick it up...

It's an auto. Every car I've owned has been a stick so it pretty nice. I was so stoked the day I found out I was getting it. My boss let me leave 4 hours early too lol. Was pretty legit
